Singer Bonnie Tyler still 'seriously ill but stable' in Portugal hospital
Bonnie Tyler "remains seriously ill but stable" in a Portuguese hospital, according to a new statement from the singer's family on Tuesday.
Despite her current condition, "her Doctors are still positive that she will make a full recovery," according to the statement. As part of the update, the family said they hoped to clarify "many lurid and untrue rumors."
The family also asked for privacy.
Tyler was put in a medically induced coma as she recovered from emergency intestinal surgery last week. A rep for the singer confirmed to ABC News in a statement on May 7.
"Bonnie has been put into an induced coma by her doctors to aid her recovery," her rep said in a statement.
The statement continued, "We know that you all wish her well and [we] ask for privacy at this difficult time please. We will issue a further statement when we are able to."
On Wednesday, a post on the "Total Eclipse of the Heart" singer's website revealed that she has been admitted to a hospital in Faro, Portugal, for emergency intestinal surgery. The statement said that the singer has a home there.
They said, "The surgery went well and she is now recuperating."
"We know that all of her family, friends, and fans will be concerned about this news and will be wishing her well for a full and swift recovery," the statement added.
As of now, Tyler's website still lists upcoming tour dates starting with May 30, rather than a previously scheduled May 22 date, which no longer appears.
Tyler is known for a series of hit songs from the 1980s.
"Total Eclipse of the Heart" topped charts in multiple countries, including the U.S., U.K., Canada and Australia and was nominated for a Grammy in 1984 for best female pop vocal performance.
She's also known for "Holding Out For a Hero," "It's a Heartache" and more.
Tyler released her 18th studio album, "The Best is Yet to Come," in 2021.
